Book DescriptionAll of the wise, insulting, obscure, profound, and sometimes
idiotic sayings of the Irish are distilled in this unique collection
of quotes-from famous thinkers like Yeats, Swift, and Wilde to the layman.
Irish wit is an art form, and for years the Irish have mixed wit with
wisdom, as they have porter with whiskey, and to the same intoxicating
effect. These maxims record Irish opinions on love, religion, the 'hard
stuff,' the English, and common subjects like fighting, sport, and food.
This book is ideal for those looking for the perfect toast or wishing
to impress people at parties.
